Default Cold Air Intake Suggestions

So, I was wondering what cold air intake to go with and I can't decide. I was considering the fipk generation ll by k & n or the bbk cold air intake. Which is better ? or anyone know of any better ones?

All I have done to my car now is borla stinger catback, Mac off road H pipe, and some 3:73 gears.

you won't see much of a gain if any in an aftermarket cai, ford actually put a pretty good intake on our mustangs, I'd go for whatever you think looks the best bc they will all give you about the same results

BBK is worth about 20rwhp. If you have a chance upgrade your injectors. lol

That's only IF you put BBK stickers on both rear windows...

I just put in the K&N fipk air intake after taking off my C&L inlet tube off but mainly for looks of having an open air filter. You wont really notice any difference in which ever you choose. One thing I do like about the K&N is that it installs like its almost factory everything is really a tight fit and even mounts to your engine to keep it sturdy in place. I dont know how the bbk is though

im happy with my bbk, it retains the mounting of the filter in the fenderwell-plus it looks nice under the hood. Couldnt beat it for the price either. just my 2cents

I actually put mine where my GT emblems would be, so that way it bumps the compression and also looks like BBK is my sponsor.
